If Haas beats Sauber this year you've really got to wonder what they're doing on the grid.

"Its great to have Aston Martin back in Formula One"

I'm no expert on the 50s/60s era but didn't Aston do miserably?

What I noticed last night, and really didn't realize it until I sobered up this morning, was that Button's car was bottoming out and bouncing around in FP1. They're still very much just trying to figure out how to set up that car so there's some room for improvement.

That's pretty close to the exact same thing he did in FP3 for Australia in 2012. :getin:

Both Alonso and Button are poo poo qualifiers. I'd be fine with them being 11th and 12th and then seeing what happens in the race.

Also I'm quickly becoming a Haas fan. They're the plucky little Americans and the little poo poo they're doing like beating Manor or forcing their way past Lewis is quite charming.

I like Brundle I really do but how is his constant bitching about this helpful.

He's really loving annoying with that, there was a race a few years ago where he was bitching and bitching about how hard it was to keep track of the number tire changes. It's not the general public's fault you're an idiot Brundle.

Also the Williams appears to be a bit of a dog this year. I don't think they're going to get 3rd in the WCC.

Qualifying was sucky and boring before, it's still sucky and boring now. It's supposed to be about cars driving fast to get positions for the main event tomorrow, not an event in itself, who cares.

I've always said this. There are a number of forms of Motorsports if you like seeing one lap pace. Qualifying at best was mildly more interesting than a free practice session.

Yeah the format only seems to work if you have a ton of cars in play and its a free for all. This is boring as gently caress.
